Abstract

Breast reconstruction is an important procedure for women who have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer or other diseases. Breast reconstruction can improve self-esteem, body image, and quality of life for women who have experienced breast loss. Breast reconstruction with implants is an effective and popular technique for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, it also has its limitations and complications, so it is important for patients and surgeons to work together to select the right technique and minimize the risk of post-operative complications. The choice of implant type, surgical technique and prevention of complications such as capsular contracture and implant rupture are important factors to consider in breast reconstruction with implants. Continued research and development in this field may further improve the efficacy and safety of this technique in the future.
